Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Philosophy and Livelihood

Recently over the transom:

I'm wondering, as a 17 year old early entrant to university who's looking for a direction in his life: how do you manage to make a living from what you do?

Also, keep up the great work!
I have been asked this question many times and have written several posts in reply.  Here are three of them:
